Glad I don't have to go anywhere else!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Geo - you had better get that raking done - I watched the weather channel last night and I think this is heading your way!<BR/><BR/>Mary Anne - Kentucky sounds like it might be my kind of place. Temps in the 70's in November? Love it!<BR/><BR/>TA - I'll post some snow pictures tomorrow for you! And I am optimistic about the future, too, with new blood in the White House.<BR/><BR/>Sagan - it's refreshing to see young people taking an interest in politics! You crack me up with your election parties! Or are you just using the elections as an excuse to party.....? :)<BR/><BR/>Aleta - Louisiana sounds like a nice place to visit - in the winter when it's not really hot. I don't do well in muggy weather!<BR/><BR/>Marianne - we joke about the weather in Alberta in the same manner - always take a winter coat with you, even in the middle of summer!<BR/><BR/>BG - I'll post some pictures tomorrow for you - I'm pretty sure it would melt before it got to you, even if I Fed-Exed it! And darn, too bad the election went the way it did - I could use a ranch hand!<BR/><BR/>Miz - I'd love to come and visit you! When the temps up here drop to *freezing the balls off a brass monkey*, I just might appear on your doorstep. (How big is your back yard? - might have to bring the cows with me....)<BR/><BR/>Sis - If I remember the forecast properly, it seems to me you might escape this little bit of snow, this time around!the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-34020760144846148292008-11-05T12:06:00.000-07:002008-11-05T12:06:00.000-07:00So far, it is still just cold and grey here today....So far, it is still just cold and grey here today.
